and in Germany November 9, 1931 lClaim.

In the known hair nets or caps consisting of a net or veil-like hoodwith two fastening bands, in which one end of each band is attached tothe hood, the fastening of the hood was hitherto effected in that, afterthe hood had been put on, the free ends of the bands, laid or crossedover the hood, were connected by means of a spring button or by tying aloop on the front or rear part of the hood.

'Ihe positioning and fastening of such hair nets was inconvenient, butthe fact, that the hood became shifted during the placing, fastening andloosening of the bands, thus resulting in a roughening'of the dressedhair, was found particularly disadvantageous. Moreover, bands of rubberor blade springs were used for adapting the hood approximately to theshape of the head. Owing to the repeated washing of the hair net whichis necessary, the rubber becomes brittle and the metal parts rust.

All these objections are overcome by the hair net or cap according tothe invention, which is characterized in that one band is fastened onthe inner side of the cap and passed across the rear of the cap througha hollow seam so that its other free end hangs out of the correspondingend of the same, the other band being attached to the outer side of thehood at the end of the seam from which the end of the first band extendsand is then passed through the hollow seam so that the free end of theband extends from the end of the seam near which the rst band is sewn.By pulling the projecting ends of the bands the rear of the cap ispulled together in the form of flounces.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example in theaccompanying drawing in which:-

Fig. 1 shows in perspective view the improved hair net placed loosely onthe head.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the net in closed condition on thehead.

Fig. 3 shows in elevation the hollow seam with the two bands and thetabs of the hollow seam.

Fig. 4 is an end view of Fig. 3.

The hair cap consists of a net or veil-like hood a with two fasteningbands d and e. The band d is attached at d on the inner side of thehollow seam b and passed through the seam so that its loose end projectsfrom the other end of the hollow seam. The band e is attached at e' tothe outer side of the hollow seam b at the end from which the free endof band d projects and passes through the hollow seam in oppositedirection to end of the hollow seam at which band d is attached. The twoends of the hollow seam form each a tab c.

The improved hair net is put on in the following manner:-

The hair cap is placed tightly like a veil over the dressed hair,whereupon, by pulling the free ends of the bands d and e the lower endof the cap is pulled together in ounce form, so that it tightly fltsover the dressed hair. The free ends of the bands d and e can then betied in a bow under the chin or on the back of the cap.

The removal of the hair cap is eifected either by only untying the bowand pulling' the cap off the head gripping the middle of the front edgeof the cap with the thumb and index finger or by simultaneously pullingthe tabs c, whereby the hood is opened.

I claim:

A hair cap, comprising in combination with the cap proper, a hollow seamnear the lower rearv edge of the cap, two tying bands threaded throughsaid hollow seam one of said bands being attached to the outer portionof said seam at one end thereof and the other of said bands beingattached to the inner portion of said seam at the other end thereof, thetwo bands projecting from the ends of said seam remote from'their pointsof attachment to cause when pulled a puckering of the rear portion ofsaid cap, and tabs rigidly xed one on each end of the outer portionv ofsaid seam adapted when pulled to stretch and remove the puckering fromthe rear portion of said cap to facilitate removal of the Cap.

the band d so that its free end projects from the HERMANN SCHRAMIM.
